Chapter 283 Yang Juntian borrows money

In the end, Gu Wenxuan let Tan Tai Leng Yue sleep on the bed, and he grabbed a quilt and slept on the floor.

He had just fallen asleep when he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it? We've all gone to bed!"

The shopkeeper's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Gu, it's me, Old Peng! I have something to tell you!"

When he heard that it was Yang Juntian, Gu Wenxuan did not pack up his bedding. It would not be a big deal if Yang Juntian saw it anyway.

He stood up and opened the door.

The door opened a crack, and Yang Juntian squeezed in through the crack, then closed the door again.

When Yang Juntian came in, he was surprised to see a bed on the floor. Then he saw a young girl sleeping on it.

Yang Juntian pointed at the girl on the bed and asked, "Who is this lady?"

"Shopkeeper Peng, this is my sister!"

Peng Tiancheng: "Mr. Gu, when did you have a younger sister? Aren't you an only child?"

Gu Wenxuan said awkwardly, "This is my wife's sister. Don't you have no single room? I had no choice but to let him live in my room. I sleep on the floor and she sleeps on the bed."

Peng Tiancheng: "Sister-in-law, are you married? Isn't your wife a Japanese?"

Gu Wenxuan pushed Peng Tiancheng and said, "Why do you have so many questions? Just tell me what you came in for. If you have something to say, just say it. I'm going to sleep!"

Peng Tiancheng pulled Gu Wenxuan and said, "I have something private to ask you. Let's go out and find someone to talk to!"

Gu Wenxuan said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it here. My second young lady is not an outsider!"

Peng Tiancheng rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Guo, I'm sorry, do you have enough money? I want to lend you some money?"

Gu Wenxuan stared at Peng Tiancheng's eyes until Peng Tiancheng was too embarrassed to look at him directly and lowered his eyelids.

Gu Wenshan thought it was really funny that this dignified Military Control Station Chief asked him to borrow money: "Lao Yang, no! Lao Peng! You are a big shopkeeper, I just met you, and you took 10 yuan from me. How come you turned around and asked me to borrow money? Are you kidding me?"

In fact, Peng Tiancheng didn't want to borrow money from Gu Wenxuan, but he was really short of money now.

"Mr. Gu, let me tell you the truth. After I came here from Peking and opened this big carriage inn, several incidents occurred, many brothers died, and I lost contact with my superiors.

I haven't received any money from the higher authorities for half a year! My inn is running out of money, and I have 20 to 30 brothers under me. The daily expenses are simply not enough to support them with this inn!

Besides, look at our inn, each person only gets 20 cents a night, and we have to provide them with breakfast! And we also provide their livestock with fodder for free. If we charge 20 cents, we can only make a few cents at most!"

Gu Wenxuan waved his hand: "Don't say you're poor, how much money do you need?"

Peng Tiancheng said embarrassedly: "Mr. Gu, please lend me 2000 yuan to help me get through this period of time."

"Look at what your Military Control Commission has become. You rely on borrowing money to fill your stomach. If you tell others about it, they will laugh their heads off!"

Tan Tai Leng Yue poked her head out and asked, "Are my brother-in-law and his men from the Military Control Commission?"

Peng Tiancheng quickly shook his hand: "Little sister, please speak softly, in case there are ears on the other side of the wall!"

Gu Wenxuan said: "It's no problem to lend you money, but I have to live in Fengtian City for a while recently, so I will live with you, and you have to help me with some things.

After all, you are the local boss here. We are not very familiar with this place and sometimes we need your help!"

Peng Tiancheng quickly patted his chest and assured:

"As long as you, Mr. Gu, give us instructions, we will definitely follow them. Besides, we are old acquaintances!"

Gu Wenxuan casually took out a silver note and slapped it into Peng Tiancheng's hand.

Peng Tiancheng took it and looked under the light. It was a silver note of 5000 ocean dollars. He said happily:

"Mr. Gu is indeed very generous. He spent 5000 dollars at once. He is indeed the legendary God of Wealth!"

Gu Wenxuan hurriedly tried to snatch it away, saying, "I took the wrong one, give it back to me!"

How could Peng Tiancheng, this old fox, give it back to him? He smiled slyly:

"Mr. Gu, don't be so ridiculous. The 2000 yuan is clearly a loan for you, and the 3000 yuan is my reward for cooperating with you!"

"You old money addict!"

"Hahaha!"

Peng Tiancheng had 5000 yuan in silver notes, and all the troubles he had suffered in the past two months suddenly disappeared.

Old people always say that money is the courage of a hero, and it is true!

Peng Tiancheng happily put the banknotes into his cotton-padded jacket, then asked Gu Wenxuan:

"Mr. Gu, are you here in Fengtian for business or for some personal matter?"

"What official business? I haven't done much of the job as the captain of the Peking Detective Bureau. I am just a figurehead now. The main things are entrusted to my deputy captain Liu Zhengqian. Now I am concentrating on doing business and making money!"

Peng Tiancheng envied Gu Wenxuan very much: "Mr. Gu is still very free and easy. You are free from official duties and can go anywhere you want! What big business do you have in Fengtian this time?"

Gu Wenxuan stared at Peng Tiancheng and couldn't help but laugh.

Peng Tiancheng felt frightened by Gu Wenxuan's gaze, and his hair stood on end when he heard his laughter.

"Don't laugh like that. You make the hairs on my body stand up. What business do you have?"

Gu Wenxuan decided to scare Yang Juntian. You actually borrowed so much money from me when you came to my place. If I don’t scare you, old man, how will you learn your lesson?

Gu Wenxuan suddenly took out two guns and pointed them at Peng Tiancheng, sneering and saying:

"Hehehe, Peng Tiancheng, you are a thorn in the side of the Military Control Commission. Today, I finally caught you. Come on, follow me to the Fengtian Military Police!"

Peng Tiancheng shuddered after hearing this. Could it be that Gu Wenxuan really wanted to capture him and take him to the gendarmerie?

Maybe it is really possible that he is a lackey of the gendarmerie.

Peng Tiancheng forced himself to calm down and analyze the matter.

No, this guy was trying to scare himself, otherwise he wouldn't call himself Peng Tiancheng. Peng Tiancheng was the pseudonym he took after arriving in Fengtian. When he was in Peiping, everyone knew his name was Yang Juntian.

Tantai Lengyue didn't know what her brother-in-law was doing. He was obviously not a real spy under the Japanese, so how could he arrest this military intelligence officer? She didn't understand, so she just blinked and watched how the two of them fought.

After Peng Tiancheng knew that Gu Wenxuan was acting with him, he breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Gu Wenxuan and said:

"Hey, kid, isn't it just to lend you 5000 dollars? Do you really have to scare me like this? You almost scared me to death!"

Gu Wenxuan didn't feel disappointed when he found out that his purpose of scaring him was discovered!

He laughed and said, "He is an old spy after all. You found him out right away!"

Peng Tiancheng pulled his sleeve and said, "No, you scared me out of my wits. You have to treat us to a big drink tonight!"

Gu Wenxuan felt that it would be difficult to sleep so early, so he might as well go out and have a drink with them and learn about the local situation.

"Well, let's go out and have some drinks. Where should we go? In your store or in the hotel outside?"

"Let's go to the home of one of my men. His house is a tavern, and they are locals, so it's safer to drink there!"
